Demons Beside You

Chapter 212: Mexican Gang

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

In the morning, Chen Zhao went to Sean’s family manor.

It was his second treatment for Old Sean and received $30,000 in payment.

The Sean family was a very famous mafia family in L.A. Chen Zhao had specifically researched after leaving last time.

He didn’t need to do any special searches. He only had to Google “Sean family” and there would be a list of this family’s information. Their power reached various crooks and crannies of L.A. They were the true underworld kingdom of the city while the patriarch was the king.

Chen Zhao respected Sean. Whenever he faced Sean, he would purposely lay low. Before him, Chen Zhao was only a doctor.

After leaving the manor, Chen Zhao went to the gym. Ethan hadn’t introduced him to any new clients these days, so his schedule was pretty simple. He went to the gym in the morning, Mr. Doman’s house in the afternoon, and went home at night.

When he reached the gym, he saw Anderson sitting on the ground with a swollen face.

“Anderson, did you get beaten by Gaia?”

“No, I fought in an amateur competition last night.”

Gaia walked over now. “Anderson, it’s too dangerous for you to fight in amateur competitions with your current abilities.”

“Anderson, you tried amateur competitions?”

“The money’s good, so I wanted to try, but I got eliminated in the first round,” Anderson said, a bit dejected.

“That’s a good thing for you,” Gaia said. “People die every year in the AQ Tournament. It gets more violent the further you go.”

“AQ Tournament?” Chen Zhao asked curiously. “What’s that? How come I’ve never heard about it before?”

“It’s actually held by the elites for the rich members to enjoy themselves. The champion each year wins $1,200,000. It’s the highest prize money in amateur fights. There also aren’t any rules, other than not being able to hit the lower body. There are no time restrictions either. As long as one party hasn’t surrendered, they can keep going.”

“One million twenty-thousand dollars isn’t a small number. Gaia, how come you don’t participate? Are women not allowed?”

“No, but I might not win even if I go,” Gaia said, shaking her head. “The participants are all top fighters. I think I’m strong, but I may not be the strongest.” She glanced at Chen Zhao. “I think you can try though.”

“Please, even you’re not confident. Wouldn’t it be suicide for me? Plus...I’m a doctor.”

Chen Zhao’s biggest wish was to hit Gaia once, but this hadn’t come true yet. He didn’t think that he’d hope for something that even Gaia wasn’t confident about.

Gaia smiled. She’d just said it off-handedly. She knew that Chen Zhao was too scared to get into the ring. Chen Zhao had only started practicing to take revenge on her instead of becoming stronger for himself or competing.

Now, Chen Zhao’s abilities weren’t weak at all. It was his heart that was weak.

This was understandable though. Gaia was the coach for the army. Women couldn’t stand their ground there if she didn’t have the abilities.

Chen Zhao learned boxing just to take revenge Gaia, but at this point, he already gave up on that. He also didn’t have the pressures of living like Anderson.

Gaia knew that Chen Zhao had a high income. At least, she knew that he’d spent a few hundred thousand on causing trouble for a billionaire.

...

“David, congratulations.” The police director patted David’s shoulder. “You performed well at the Harry Bank. Old York is retiring this year. There are high possibilities of you taking his spot.”

In the bank robbery case, David had saved the captive, shot a robber, and captured two robbers. The security camera footage and video from the reporter present were played continuously in the media.

This boosted the director’s reputation. David was also praised by L.A’s mayor. Of course, he was also treated as a hero.

After all, David’s performance yesterday had been too amazing. After the robbers broke into the bank, they shot the bank’s security guard before anyone could react. No one could avoid this, but it was evident from this how evil the group of robbers was.

Then David pretended to surrender but was observing quietly. He worked together with his friend and used advanced fighting skills to restrict the robbers and used great shooting skills to kill one robber.

As for the two that had escaped, it couldn’t be helped. David was only one person and he had to save the captive too.

This scene had been replayed many times by various media. They all complemented on how beautiful it was.

In one night, David became the representative of his department. Old York was a leader of serious crimes. He was respected in the department but was already at retirement age. Now that David performed so well, he naturally became the one with the biggest chance of taking Old York’s spot.

“However, the two escaped robbers still haven’t been found. You can’t relax. Continue trying to catch them.”

“Yes, sir. I understand.”

David couldn’t wait to share this with all his friends. He called them all and invited them to dinner and party.

...

At the same time—

The two robbers stole $2,000,000 from the bank, but before they could enjoy their lives, they were captured by the Mexican Gang.

This was one of the cruelest gangs in America. They might not be as deeply established as the mafia, but they were very good at their jobs—being cruel. The gang was unparalleled in that aspect.

Odutra looked at the two bloody robbers. “You abandoned my little brother like that? Do you know how much time I spent on raising him? How much effort? You know how sad I was when I heard that he’d died?”

“Odutra...sorry...I’m sorry...I wanted to save Oxis...but you know how it was... We didn’t know the police would be in the bank...”

“I don’t want explanations. I want you to return your brother to me.”

“I can’t take it anymore... Kill me...” The other robber couldn’t take the torture anymore. He’d rather die than continue.

“You want to die? Great... Bring in the gift I prepared for them.”

A huge jar of water was pushed in. It was a 2.2-meter-deep cistern. A group of piranhas swam inside it... They were man-eating fish.

“No...Odutra...let me go...let me go...I don’t want to die...”

“Ah!”

The two robbers were tossed into the cistern. They were already bloody and the piranhas attacked them immediately.

The water instantly turned murky. Odutra listened to the tragic cries, his features still dark.

“Find the police! I will make them pay! No one can hurt the Devhal family.”
